Device Type to print Vietnamese Characters

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

I can print Vietnamese characters in a laser printer using the device type SWINCF and Access Method F (Frontend printing).

Now I want to print using Access Method U (Print using Berkeley Protocol) in a network printer (located overseas). I am using a unicode device type ZHPUTF8F because our SAP system is running under Unicode (ECC 6.0). Unfortunately the printout for the Vietnamese characters are wrong (garbage characters). Is it possible to print Vietnamese characters using a device type other than SWINCF? The printer model that I am testing with is HPLJ 4250.

One more thing, we will be needing to print using a dot matrix printer. Is there a specific device type that can print Vietnamese characters for dot matrix printer (e.g. Printronix)?

Thanks,

Andre

SAPsprint and device type SWINCF solved my problem.

Hi,

Device type WINCF is good for normal printing but we have also a barcode on one form.

the barcode is not printing with this Device type!

Any ideas?

Hi Andre,

I have the same printer with the same problem.

Which settings do you used?

I had in china the same problem. there we use a HP chinese driver with font module in the printer.

Hi Mario,

We installed SAPSprint in the print server. If you are using SAPLPD currently, you must uninstall it first before installing SAPSprint. The SAPsprint software can be downloaded in service marketplace.

After the installation, you can now use the access method U and S to print directly to the printer.

Hope this will help you. Do not hesitate to ask me for any clarification

Best regards

Hi,

which SAP printer driver do you use?

I used SWINCF for cascadin fonts. But I think you can also use SWINCFC.

Best regards
